"…the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." —1 Tim. 3:15
There is a very unfortunate circumstance in our world. This one, in particular, does not only exist today—it has existed since virtually the beginning of time. It is the tragic reality that there are those who claim to believe in God—some (most?) of whom even claim to follow Jesus Christ—who are guilty of “handling the
#3: DARWINIAN OR “ORGANIC EVOLUTION” IS UNSCIENTIFIC—IT IS NOT SCIENCE. Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard the phrase, “the theory of evolution.” I’m going to go out on a limb and say every hand is up. In fact, I’m sure I’m not the only one who has heard some brave (albeit delusional, or else
#2: SCIENCE PROVED “ORGANIC EVOLUTION” TO BE SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE OVER 150 YEARS AGO. Once upon a time people thought maggots magically—er, “spontaneously”—arose from raw meat: the living from the nonliving. That’s right, some men noticed that when you leave raw meat out in the elements, it will eventually be infested with maggots. Upon this observation, a hypothesis was
Regarding the New Testament church—i.e., the collective body of Christians in the first century A.D., that we read about in the New Testament—which Jesus promised to build (Matt. 16:18), which God established in Him (Eph. 2:22; Col. 1:13; Rev. 1:6; et al.), and purchased with His precious blood (Acts 20:28)—so far we’ve seen that the
2. That there is only one. According to the New Testament, there is only one church: “…upon this rock I will build MY CHURCH…” (Matt. 16:18). “…we have many members in ONE BODY…in Christ…” (Rom. 12:4,5). “…we who are many are ONE BODY…” (1 Cor. 10:17). “…this body is ONE… …baptized into ONE BODY…” (1
1. That it was the eternal purpose of God. The Holy Spirit stated through the apostle Paul that, even before the foundation of the world, God had ordained that “His manifold wisdom” would be made known to all the world “through the church” (Eph. 3:10). This, the apostle affirmed with unmistakeable certainty and conviction, was
God made mankind creatures of intelligence, equipping us with the capacity for objective reasoning and logical analysis. But there are things that stand in the way—hindering one’s ability to recognize deceit, determine truth, and even see reality. Personal bias is one of the biggest obstacles, and we’re dealing with far too much bias in our
#1: THE DATING METHODS USED BY EVOLUTIONARY “SCIENTISTS” ARE FLAWED AD ABSURDUM. Here’s the thing: we are supposed to believe it when a man wearing a glistening lab coat and tinkling test tubes tells us that he and his colleagues, in their little diggings, found a rock that is a million years old. Tragically, most people don’t
Consider this conundrum: the moment a person experiences even COVID-19-related symptoms, they are told to seek medical testing or treatment, and, in the earlier stages of the outbreak, such may have even made national news! Meanwhile, not one word is uttered when 10,000 become infected with the virus that “can kill both soul and body
